Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore Press Access
CNN, MS NOW, and Politico reporters were allowed back into the White House on Thursday after U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the Trump administration to restore their press credentials.
This decision came six days after the administration barred these outlets from the premises, accusing them of publishing false reports. Judge Kelly ruled that the revocation likely violated the outlets' constitutional due process rights, emphasizing that individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before being deprived of constitutionally protected interests.
The Trump administration had claimed the outlets disseminated "fake news" and cited national security concerns regarding specific reports. However, Judge Kelly expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of these national security arguments.
Following the ruling, reporters from the three organizations attempted to enter the White House but were initially turned away by the Secret Service before being granted access later that day.
